Bonacini's Italy

Bonacini's Italy

Campania's beautiful coastline is filled with two things: tourists and seafood. Diving into the culture of the region, Celebrity Chef Michael Bonacini begins his meal with a salad from the Island of Capri. Putting a twist on the classic dish, Michael's Grilled Caprese Salad combines fresh tomatoes, tangy balsamic, and a hint of sweetness from basil. For his primo, Michael serves up bold flavours with his Spaghetti Puttanesca. Mixing salty and sweet, this sauce offers a delicious take on the typical plate of spaghetti. Looking to the coast for his secondo, Michael quickly cooks up aromatic and spicy Herb-stuffed Scallops and Grilled Broccoli Rabe. For his dolce Michael whips up a dessert made for a celebration: Rum Babas. Typically for special occasions, each bite of Rum Babas offers pure sweetness with a fresh citrus zest.

In this "C" challenge, Chef Robert Jewell cooks up recipes using coconut and crab before combining both into a single recipe. Using sweet coconut, Robert makes a classic dessert -- an irresistible coconut cream pie. He starts with a delectable crunchy graham cracker crust and tops his pie with fluffy whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes. Next, Robert transforms a fresh soft-shell crab into a delicious, spicy, and crunchy dish. The best part? It's fast and easy to make. After soaking the crab in milk, Robert dunks it into a flour-cornmeal mixture and fries it until golden brown. But that's not all, Robert whips up the perfect dipping sauce, using spicy smoked- jalapeno, lime, and orange adobo mayo. Finally, Robert brings coconut and crab into one delicious dish.
